The Hightown groyne bench, £250 plus delivery.
I was beachcombing just down from Tracy Lewis's house in Hightown when I noticed this upright from some washed up sea defences. It was the iron bands which gave away the fact that it was a one-foot square baulk of hartwood.
Once I had dug it up, the two bolt holes made it a lot easier to drag the quarter-mile to the slipway at Hightown.
You can just about make out the drag lines in the sand.
It weighs over 13 stone now so I reckon it must have been at least 15 waterlogged. It took the best part of an hour to drag along the sand to the slipway.
The next job was to let it dry out for about four months.
However, I wasn't happy with the fact that the underneath was bent and had some cracks in it. It gave it a sort of saggy look, and I wanted it to sit higher off the ground.
So I scooped out the underside into an arch and mounted it higher on two other pieces reclaimed from the beach.
The top surface has been filled, sanded smoooth and varnished.
I used a contrasting colour of filler on the seat because I wanted to highlight the angled cracks along the length of the bench.
